Quantitative ultrasonography (QUS)?—? does not measure BMD, but instead measures the transmission of ultrasound through accessible limb bones or the reflectance of the ultrasound waves from the bone surface. Quantitative computed tomography? (QCT): measures volumetric BMD (vBMD) in mg/cm3, most often at the spine. Unlike DXA, QCT can isolate trabecular bone from its envelope of cortical bone. The studies are split regarding its superiority to DXA. Emerging technologies?: High resolution microCT and microMRI allow noninvasive three-dimensional evaluation of bone microarchitecture. These tech
